We've squashed bugs and made behind-the-scenes improvements to bring Netflix members the best possible gameplay experience.
Bringing Red Dead Redemption to mobile via Netflix is a massive achievement. This isn't a watered-down mobile port; it’s the full, sprawling epic of John Marston’s quest for redemption, rendered with surprising clarity on smaller screens. The lighting and atmosphere of the American West remain unmatched, capturing the lonely beauty of the frontier just as well as the original console release.
The inclusion of Undead Nightmare is the cherry on top, providing one of the best expansions in gaming history right in your pocket. While touch controls are surprisingly competent, I highly recommend pairing a controller for the best experience. It's a high-fidelity trip through a masterpiece that feels just as impactful today as it did over a decade ago.

This is awesomer than Dutch having a stupid plan that leaves everyone in the gang living! This game fellers was so good! Just because me and probably everyone else that loves the red dead series can now play it from their pockets. Rockstar for this game I feel like you DEFINITELY DEFINITELY OF COURSEABLY DESERVE that name. You guys are rockstars! This game had great graphics and pretty much everything the original wonderful game had! But just for mobile gaming. I’ve been waiting for this game or any rockstar games to come to mobile because my Xbox isn’t really working too well right now and I haven’t played Red Dead in a while. This game remind me of when I first got this game and how good I thought it was before I ever got my hands on the beautiful game of rdr2! And this is crazy how your team got the same feel and graphics and interactive storyline and the awesome voice lines and crazy fights and brawls into this one mobile game! 5 STAR AND AMAZING NOSTALGIA FROM THE SERIES START! Just so happy that you all were able to make sure this game wasn’t forgotten. Arthur would have been honored if he saw this today. And I’m speechless with the gaming performance here great job fellers. And I have a plan Arthur y’all at rockstar should make more stuff like this compatible so more people can join in on this amazing game! Thank you guys so much. Sincerely, Cozy.
I want to first state that this game is GREAT. And the port even better, control support, smooth Graphics. Feels like everything should be fine until we run with my biggest design problem and that is the fact that the game needs you to constantly have free space and a internet connection to play and I find that as A… bit of a rock in the boot, not only bc I need a good internet connection which I don’t have but also having at least 7GB of storage always free on the go for the download is not feasible for me. I could have 3-4 games to entertain myself, even without internet. so yeah… I’m taking this rock of my boot for a bit. At least until Rockstar decides to remove this feature or if I change to a new phone with more storage. (I find the second option more likely to happen but who knows)
Was excited to see that Netflix and Rockstar Games were able to bring in such an iconic title like Red Dead redemption to Mobile. However this excitement came with hesitation and doubt that this can be executed and unfortunately in my case my feelings were warranted. The Space that stated to support this game is very misleading you should know as a consumer that you actually need upwards of 7GB of space to run the game when the game states you need 3GB that is a sin that can’t be overlooked on top of the fact that the game isn’t stable and has hard reset my phone twice just trying to attempt to download the game. The opening menus would flash blue and pink and the screen will pixelate as if your phone is about to implode which highlights these stabilization issues that plague this game on Day 1. The game is currently unplayable for me so beware of these issues and make sure you clear up most of your space in your phone to give yourself a fighting chance to survive the epileptic nightmare of a downloading experience.
I am writing this as a frustrated owner of the new iPad Air M3 (11-inch). It is 2026, and I am witnessing a total lack of competence regarding device optimization. Here is the bitter truth: The older iPad Air M1 model (two generations behind) currently has the 'Performance Mode' toggle for 60 FPS. However, my much more powerful M3 chip is artificially locked at 30 FPS with no graphics options available. The recent 3.7 GB update was just a 'cosmetic' fix. While you improved the character models and lighting, you completely ignored the frame rate lock for the M3 series. You are essentially putting a speed limiter on a supercar. This isn't a hardware limitation; it's a 'whitelist' failure and a lack of respect for your users who invest in the latest technology. Stop giving us automated bot responses like 'We are working on it'. We know the M3 is more than capable of 60 FPS if you simply allow it. Fix the device identification bug and unlock the M3's potential immediately. Don't punish us for not buying the 'Pro' model when our hardware is already overkill for this game.
Controls are a little bit difficult to get use to unless I hook my ps5. Controller up with Bluetooth to my phone. But I absolutely love it and I think it is really good idea and awesome that they put this on mobile. The only thing I do not like about Netflix games is the fact that right as I started San Andreas mobile and I got about a quarter of the way through the game they decided to remove it and not have the contract renewed, which really sucked, but I think red dead redemption one a great idea to have it put on mobile for me to play all over again even though I have it on my PS five it gives me something to do when I’m out and about or sitting on the bus or something and I really love it
[Reviewed on iPhone 14 Pro Max] This game is incredibly stable and I’m having the same experience of playing red dead redemption as it used to be. However, when it comes to touch controls, it doesn’t have my presets saved and I always have to end up doing it again, same goes for settings (Resolution scaling only seems to be one saving). The touch controls feel a bit awkward at times and I would appreciate with better camera configurations. With controller on the other hand, [Used a Backbone One Playstation Edition] the game seems to play really good and I barely have a problem with playing with a controller. I would recommend this game if you have a controller to play with, (as the touch controls feel quite messy at times) and if you wanna experience red dead redemption on your iOS device.
Texture quality, edge noise & shimmering fixes, noticeable robotic audio quality fixes, performance improvements, beginning train scene speed fixes at the start of the game (train goes much faster than the console version), effects improvements, and color enhancements. These will make this mobile version of the game so much better! Please include these improvements in future updates. Thank you for your hard work in the Netflix Gaming Industry. I’ve noticed more problems. 1. Draw distance popin and popout + rendering issues, 2. Headless skinned animal carcasses, 3. Less raytracing shadows from streetlights, 4. Audio completely muting automatically after playing the game for a certain amount of time per session, 5. Noisy image and jagged edges + grainy areas in open wilderness and towns, and 6. NPC doesn’t inspect their hunted animal carcasses.
I first tried to get into the app after downloading and the loading screen to load the files came up. I chose to load it up on cellular data and after 10 minutes and it still on 0.00 gp i cleared the app tab and reentered the app. Still the same issue even with choosing WiFi, I then restarted my phone and let it sit for a while and then reentered the app and it still has the same issue on both options of WiFi and cellular data to get my gp to load. No matter how long I wait on the app it won’t budge at all even for an hour! Not at all hating it may be on my end just asking for help!
